Review on πŸ₯¦ Stainless Steel 3-Piece Farm to Table Chinois Set: Premium Quality for Fresh and Healthy Cooking by Emily Quintana

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not Chinese! Be careful

I'm not a cook but I always try to find good equipment to cook like a pro. I found out about chinoa in a recipe book and wanted smooth mashed potatoes and broth. Chinoise (sometimes called Chinoise) is a conical sieve with extremely fine mesh, and the porcelain lid has large holes. This item is advertised as a Chinese cap and it is actually a Chinese cap that costs a lot less and doesn't give you the smooth puree of thinly sifted recipes. Chinese caps are always sold much more expensive than Chinese caps and so far I've only seen one at Revain. Don't waste your time and money trying to get a fine mesh strainer - get a real Chinese strainer instead. I left mine anyway because I also needed a Chinese cap for some of the Asian dishes I like to cook, and it's handy for easy straining, but I don't use a press for this as it can push through small solid ingredients and you can't the smooth consistency you desire.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Long waiting time
